Having problems with your Nikon D1X Digital Camera ?

I'm getting error messages and black frames that show the image but just a black frame in Aperture. Some images show vertical color lines in the frame but no image. I have changed the CF card several times

Answers :

Hello jay... turn it on and go into the menu and find a function called reset. Reset it. then check it out. Generally this reset will solve the problem. That said, if the problem is still there you should not open up the camera mechanism yourself as this will void the warranty. instead, go to nikon.com and involve there service department if it is less that 3 years old. OR take it to your local camera shop for a repair. Joe

I have an Elura 90 that has suddenly started to show horizontal lines of different video images at the same time; one will show as a still picture and the other will be the video which I'm trying to show. It only does it on parts of different tapes, not all. I have cleaned the heads several times to no avail.

A85 camera LCD shows up with pink and black lines every time a picture is taken. LCD screen displays the camera icons on LCD screen but will not take anymore photo's.

When I try to take a picture, the LCD displays a lot of colorfull squiggly lines instead of the scene that I want to capture. When I turn it ON, the Zoom lens extends normally, then the colored lines appear with the following settings on the screen. Auto, 1M 178, ISO 400, ! plus a hand icon, AUTO, 4, F2.8.
No matter which mode I choose, the same thing happens. Looking through the EVF shows the same thing.
Note; I can view several good pictures that I took before the problem showed up.

I have an olympus fe-220. I have an issue where I take one picture and the screen goes black. I can view the image, but cannot take anymore pictures until I turn the camera on and off several times until the screen shows what I'm looking at. I have reset the camera several times. Any Ideas?

I took several pictures this morning. Then I plugged the camera into the cradle and pressed USB port and connected the line from the cradle to the computer, an operation I have completed numerous times. This time nothing happened. No "import" showed up. I looked at help in iPhoto. It said to turn on the camera. I tried, but it would not turn on. I took it off the cradle and tried many times. No luck. Have I somehow accidentally locked the camera? Does it even have a lock feature?

I just received my Nikon D3100 in the mail today, and I was so excited.
When I opened the lens cap on the camera body to put the lens on a small, clear-ish rectangle fell out. It was surrounded by a thin cooper colored frame that is easily removable. It looked like a little magnifying glass so I am kind of nervous. It seems to shoot pictures fine, but some times it tells me the shot is to dark even though I am in full light.
It also took black pictures the first few times and if I point it di

My Canon A95 has horizontal grid lines on the LCD screen AFTER a photo is taken. The view on the screen is normal when you are framing the photo, but AFTER you take the shot, the playback of that scene has these grayish horizontal lines and the image color is washed out.

Screen damage? no problems in two years until today after shooting several "best shot" in monochrome, then returning to regular shooting position in color. no drops ever and only gentle usage. I turned it off and put camera away, then on turning it back on, the LED screen displays one-third solid white, one-third grey and only one third (bottom) of actual image. it also has an odd black "lips" image across the middle of top half. various colored lines across the bright part.

My screen colors are corrupted such that blues are green, reds are electric blue, yellows are lavender-pink. Pictures taken since this happened are OK when transferred to PMB/other picture program. Do not remember any trauma to camera, but it had misbehaved a few times before by staying white for some time or showing flashing lines across image.

Hello,
re: CANNON POWERSHOT A 85
camera is not even 2 yrs. old yet and it started to have streaking lines in the lcd monitor now it does not show any view at all. it is completely black when trying to take pics. put brand new cannon in and to no avail. this thing cost over $225! spoke to several people they had the same problem with the cannon powershot a 85. what is the remedy? i am sure you have had many complaints according to the internet.

My G10 lens is sometimes finicky. At times the screen would show static and a purpleish hue (think of a television with the black and white lines). When I adjust the lens, either by pushing up or down slightly, or rotating, everything goes back to normal. However, I have to do this everytime. How can I get rid of this problem?

I turn on the camera and all it shows in the screen is colorful lines and mostly blocks of black. everything else still works on the camera but the screen is not visible at all to see what i am taking a picture of.

You may have damaged your lcd screen. If the screen still lights up the your back light should be fine. You can go to www.thefotogeeks.com for a replacement lcd for your C613. ...

Polaroid a520 Hi there My camera stopped working suddenly. The battery indiocator is showing green, but the camera does not seem to turn on. I changed the batteries, used the ac adapter, etc, but the screen is black and there seems to be no indication of the camera being in any mode. However, I can see faint vertical colored lines when I look at the screen from a certain angle. Any advice? Thank you~

Nikon CoolPix S500 shows colored lines on lcd and in photos where the lights are bright. I have restored settings tried using it with no flash, soft flash, and auto flash and the problem continues. Noticed the lines on the lcd over a year ago and it has progressed to brightly lit photos also now. In some photos lighter colors also show up with the lines. ie. My daughters blonde hair in the light looks almost transparent with all the lines running through it.
Is this a lens problem?

The LCD Monitor of my Canon PowerShot A95 shows purple, white, and black horizontal lines instead of a clear image of what is in the Viewfinder. Pictures taken while showing up this way on the LCD Monitor turn out with the same fuzzy stripes. Light lines show up in the well-lit areas of the scene and dark lines show up where the scene is dark. The problem was intermittent for months but now cannot be corrected by powering off. Thanks, Steve

I had taken three frames without trouble. Went to take the fourth frame. Camera would not take. Camera told me to turn it off and then on again. I did this several times, Doesn't work. Clerk at store told me to take out battery and memory card and to leave it for 24 hours. I repeated this several times. It did not work. I phoned the panasonic number that was given to me by the store. It's in Jamaica! I could NOT understand him because of his very thick accent.

My camera was working fine for about a year. Then one day i turned it on and the screen was black but it shows the grid and date and time also it shows the menu and the differnet scene selections. If i take a pic the flash works and the sound works, but no image just black and the time and date. i think its the shutter that is stuck?? How to fix this?? Not under warranty anymore.

Take the camera andturn off the flash. Point it toward you and take a picture. Look in the lens to see if you see the shutter activate. If you dont see this work, then your shutter may very well be stuck. \015\012\015\012There isn't reall ...

Black-out I've had my camera for about six months now, since February. It's worked fine, and I never had a problem, until about two weeks ago. Now, when I turn it on, all I see is black. If shaken it shows an image for about two seconds, before it goes black again. Taking pictures doesn't do anything, it's still black. Sometimes I can get an image, but it's grainy and only shows up as blue with light on the main object. It's worked fine up until now. I've changed the batteries a few times, but i

No image on LCD screen, only irregular lines of varied coloring. When picture is snapped, it is of these lines--no image. Help. Details: I turned the camera to shooting mode but it does not display the image of what I want to shoot, but just a series of horizontal lines. If I take the shot, it shows the lines which were displayed on the LCD screen. If switched to playback mode, previously shot images show up fine. I checked the batteries; they were fine. I replaced them anyway, to no avai
